You pay insurance companies and your payment goes in part to a department that exists to deny your claim. You pay them to look for loopholes to deny your care. These stories pop up all the time.

Insurance is a scam, forcing people to have insurance is outright rape.

All you insurance fans, go look up some data on a situation like katrina. The shit hit the fan and the insurance companies decided not to pay what they owe to a large extent. What else is there to talk about? It is a giant scam, the scam of the century. It is the best thing that every happened if your an insurance executive however.

Would be nice to know there actually is/was a poll and where it is.
I found it (finally) by clicking on the "comments" icon under the "Yes/No" images, as the link in the OP goes to the TV topic but the poll is on their Facebook page:

Health﻿ insurance﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿ in the form ﻿of accident and emergency is ok, as far as outpatient that is just BS

I've been coming here on and off since 1994, and much more in the last couple of years, I doubt the total outpatient cost has reached 40000Baht yet in all that time.

I just wish they would come up with some Hybrid cover which was part bond and part insurance, with a card to get you access to initial treatment. Can't see the sense of having the outpatient cover as an insurance, but a problem could arise if you don't have enough in your pocket and can't get to the bank.

I always remember a story, told to me in the 90s of someone's acquaintance that had a medical problem, who died whilst they argued if he had cover, and he had $5000 in his hotel safe! He may of died anyway, but a different end to the story never got a chance to be told.

As I've said already, how to transact this, there was a post on the other thread quoting you could use your insurance cert in support of application??? But if you don't already have permission to enter & stay for 12 months, you would not need the insurance.

Of course people would support the idea of having health insurance. I support the idea of me having some insurance, I also support the idea of me loosing weight, giving up smoking and not eating potato chips.

Still as confused as ever. Are they talking about. Type O-A Retirements visas ? Type O Marriage visas ? Those that need no bank accounts that apply for Type O visas in Savannakhet Laos ? And why not mandatory to ALL visas? What about the millions of Full Moon Party idiots who in up in the hospitals and make a dash to the airports without paying?

Still not exactly clear, but looks like they could be talking about Non O-A visas issued outside Thailand that give a 1 year entry stamp on arrival? I guess the logic is that they are not applying for an extension in Thailand so do not have to hold the 800k in a Thai bank, isn't that 800K supposed to be for such medical emergencies?

But If its only for over 50's why do the policy rates quoted on the website show premiums for all ages including under 50's
